Consumer Banking Institute of Washington has proposed that owners hang on to their war bonds even after the war is over and finance their peacetime investments and purchases by borrowing funds as needed. You may not agree with that and you don’t have to do it, but its sound. If we all cash our bonds and rush to the markets to buy the things we want and need, there will not be enough money or goods to go around. The result will be a serious mess and inflation will follow that will wipe out all the advantages you think you have gained. Think it over and be wise and thrifty. The bonds are g»od and you don't have to crowd any one out of the way.

O—O Hit The Jack Pot: About once in seven years a lawyer breaks down and tells an interesting story. This man told about a widow whose husband left her the income for life on a $125,000 interest in his business. This was twenty years ago. He had two brothers, partners in the business. The widow rented rooms in a downtown hotel and soon married a second time. Lu ihe eyes of her in-laws the new fKsband was a no-good. He spent his days in brokers' offices, watching the tape. He soon moved his wife into a double-room in a sec-ond-class hotel where they lived

shabbily. Meanwhile the surviving brothers resented the necessity of sending quarterly dividends. The sister-in-law died recently. The stock in the company reverted to the brothers, presumably leaving the husband penniless. When the wife’s will was read, however, it turned out that she had accumulated an estate of $,50,000, two-thirds of which she willed to her brothers and one-third to her husband. The husband had made it for her by astute investment and speculation. In addition, he had about SIOO,OOO in his own name. The accounting was meticulous and the securities were gilt-edged. Not a bad guy but too frugal, perhaps.—The Imperial Magazine. Our Planes And Gas: When the United States entered

World War 11, Germany gloried in her belief in the invincibility of her air power. And at first it did look like an almost impossibletask to overcome German air superiority. But Americans are not easily discouraged. We immediately planned airplane production to out. strip Germany. The air superiority which we built might not have been eo spectacular, however, if it had not been for our oil industry which smashed record after record, not only in production, but in development of types of gasoline that give our p’anes power and speed which, in the hands of an air force beyond compare, Germany could not match. Last we hdap’d.of 100k>ctane gasoline in tertns of\billions of gallons, the achievement'.of individual companies. More aviation gas was produced in 1944 alone than the entire production of all' grades of gasoline during the en-

The American oil industry which produced the new kind of fuel to power the new types of planes more efficiently; was an agency of destruction the Germans had not reckoned with.

CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE PHILIP AND ZOE were having mint juleps when they walked out to the side porch. “Got any for Helen and me?” Paul asked, “Julia will get them for you,” said Zoe. “Just call her” Paid did so. The colored girl came out presently with two tall, frosted glasses. Paul gave one to Helen and took one himself, "Why don’t you (two stay on for a sort of skirmish supper and have some more bridge afterward?" he said. “Yes,” said Zoe eagerly, "why don’t you ?” "I’ve got to be getting home,” said Philip. “I promised my son I’d explain the makings of a tank model He’s got all the parts laid out, waiting for me." “And I,” said Helen, "have a lot of Washington questionnaires and what-not to look over. If all the questionnaires the Miller plant has received were laid end to end, we’d have a paper-paved route from here to Florida." Zoe said: “Well, even If they do do a lot of foolish things in Washington, it’s a wonderful place to live.” "You can have it!” said Paul. “I was darned sick of the place by the end of my first week.” They finished their drinks. Helen and Philip rose to go. Zoe and Paul walked out to the car with them. “Just as soon as I can find a free evening," said Helen, “you two must come in for dinner. I never know Aunt Minerva’s hours, nor my own, for that matter, so it’s difficult to plan ahead.” “I’d like you out to my cottage, too," said Philip. “Aunt Dulcy is always scolding me for not being hospitable like *us southern folks is supposen’ ter be’." He released the clutch. “We’ll hit on a date one of these days." Zoe and Paul leaned upon the white picket gate and watched the small car go down the road. “They make a marvelous pair, don’t they?” said Zoe. “Yes, they do," said PauL He turned away and started for the rear of the house. “I’d better go and have a look at Rachel.” ! “You and your everlasting cows!” said Zoe with a flash of anger. Paul didn’t reply, but continued on his way. Zoe stared after him, frowning—and then she fairly flung hesself into the house. While Philip drove leisurely he hummed a tune. “What’s that you’re humming?” Helen asked. "I don’t remember," he said. "An old love song I've always liked. How was the flight?" "Wonderful.” “Playing a return engagement?” “Yes—several of them.” “Good luck—and be careful.” “Thanks.” Silence, and then Philip said: “Why not stop and have supper with Dfck and me?” “I’d love it,” said Helen. “Only there’s the work I mentioned to Zoe and Paul.” "Forget it for a couple of hours.” I “All right, I will. I’ll telephone Aunt Minerva to expect me around eight" Philip speeded up a bit "My son will be awfully glad to see you, Helen,” he said. “He lost his heart to you on the day of the* picnic.” “I’ll be glad to see him.” ’ “How does it feel,” Philip asked,

smiling, "to have two men by the same name in love with you?” "I like it,” Helen replied instantly. It’s a grand feeling.” • • • ZOE’S restlessness Increased with each passing day—days when the duties of the plantation took up more and more of Paul’s time. She grew to loathe the plantation and everything on it Her thoughts kept reverting to Washington, to Mike Waterman, to Mrs. Roark and all the fun people were having up there. Sometimes it seemed to her that she would lose her mind entirely if she didn’t do something exciting or amusing. She let Paul know how she felt, one evening, when there was a steady, sad sort of rain, and the two of them were sitting in the living room listening to the radio. “Oh, for heaven’s sake, Paul,” she exploded, “turn that thing off. All that ever comes over now is war—war —war.” “I guess you’re right, honey,” Paul said. "But when a war covers the whole world, and practically every living creature is affected by it one way or another, it’s a hard subject to get away from.” “That’s the reason radio stations should broadcast something else,” Zoe said peevishly. “You can’t even pick up a magazine to enjoy a story but what the hero’s a soldier or a sailor, or the heroine is a Wave or a Waac. It makes me sick.” Paul glanced at her and frowned. “Why don’t you get into town more?” he asked. “Work with the Red Cross, or try selling War Bonds ?” “There you go--the war again!” “At least you’d be mingling with other women and girls, and it would help you to forget yourself." “How can I go in, when we must conserve gas?” “I’ll buy you a bicycle," Paul grinned. "Have you forgotten how to ride one?” “No, but if you think I’m going to pedal six miles into town just to listen to a lot of small-town women gossip, or brag about how brave their sons and husbands are,” said Zoe, “you’re out of your mind.” "Okay, you could walk a mile to the bus stop, and go into town on that.” “It’s always crowded with war workers, coming and going. Half the time I have to stand up." Paul shook his head sadly. "Sorry, honey,” he said. “I’ve made every possible suggestion and you don't like any of them.” “No,” said Zoe, “I don't.” She stared moodily into the distance. “I wonder what Mrs. Roark and the others are doing now.” “Probably drinking their heads off,” said PauL “Or dancing off their feet." "I don’t care. I wish I were with them—instead of here.” Paul filled and lit his pipe. "Not very fond of your home and husband, are you?” he said. "Don’t be silly," said Zoe. She walked to the window, pulled back the curtains and stared out into the wetness. “I suppose it’s all because I’m disappointed. I’d been looking forward to going to the country club with you tonight.” “There'll be other nights,” Pau) said. He then turned to look at some pictures he and Helen had made the flay before. “If you’d only try flying with me—helping me with the photographs.” "You seem to be doing pretty well with Helen,” said Zoe. “Os course. But it would be nice

if my wife showed an interest also.” "Not very fond of your wife and her ways, are you?” said Zoe, mockingly. “Don’t be silly!” mocked Paul. “You’re all right, Zoe. Only I wish you didn’t feel about the plantation and my way of life as you do.” “Sorry, PauL” Zoe shrugged, took a cigaret from a box on the table and lit iL “Maybe by the time I’m 90 I’ll be a passingly fair farmer’s wife. Meanwhile—while I'm still young—l’d like a little liveliness.” Paul said: “You must take into consideration, honey, that no one’s living a normal life nowadays.” "Not even you,” Zoe retorted. "Working from daylight until dark —when you and Helen aren’t exploring the stars.” “You don’t object, do you, to my flying with Helen?” "Certainly not. I’m getting used to sharing you with Helen—and the cows—and —” The telephone bell rang. Paul got up to answer it. It was Helen. “Gosh,” said Paul, “speaking of angels—” “Who was ?” said Helen. “Zoe and I were just talking about you when the telephone bell rang.” “I hope it wasn’t too awfuL" “Certainly not,” Paul said. Helen said: “We’re going to have that dinner at last Can you ant Zoe come Saturday evening?" “You bet we can!"
